Electric Beat

Now that I finally started trying polishes from this collection, I’ll keep it going by trying the ones in the blue/green family this month. China Glaze Electric Beat (Electropop, Spring 2012) is a soft, light cornflower blue creme:

Picture taken in natural light. The formula was nicely thick and pigmented, providing full coverage in two coats. This isn’t a color that comes to mind when I think “electropop,” but its softness is very pretty, giving it a lovely faded look. It’s a dusty shade, but it doesn’t look too greyed, and it’s a relatively light kind of blue, but it’s not too pale. Because of the rich pigmentation, I actually think it’s bright, as far as soft shades go. I paired this with Essie One of a Kind on my toes.
